So for a while I was convinced I had cracked my second intake Mani on my 98 gm but I figured out that the idiots that replaced it originally hadn't properly torqued the rearmost bolt on the passenger side. So 2.5 hours and a lot of cursing the mod motor gods I managed to remove the intake replace the gaskets and polish up the plenum and throttle body on my GM. Its so nice to again have smooth fast throttle response and not have to smell the awful aroma of burning coolant running down the back of the block and transmission at a rate of .75-1.25 gallons every 50-75 miles. So if anyone has a leaky manifold or gasket don't be scared. Its a whole lot easier than it was expected to be, plus the sense of self accomplishment with a job well done is totally worth it to keep your GM on the road!
